DISTRIBUTION LINE RECONSTRUCTION, RUS WORK PLAN PROJECTS - 2006
Client:
Cloverland Electric Cooperative
Location: Dafter, Michigan
Project consisted of the reconstruction of 6.0 miles of V-phase and 6.5
miles of three-phase overhead distribution line. A total of five
RUS distribution work plan projects were completed. Two projects
included relocation of the lines from deep right-of-way to edge of the
roads. Significant tree clearing was required to complete the
relocations. Conductor size was increased to #1/0 ACSR on the
V-phase line and #336.4 ACSR on the three-phase lines to provide
circuit capacity for backing up nearby substation circuits and to
minimize voltage drop.
